What do you suggest for a sealant? I used to make my own with a mixture of polyurethane and mineral spirits then airbrush it on. It looks good at first, but starts to yellow and peel after a couple of years. I thought about using regular clear coat, but maybe there's something better?
I just use regular polymer liquid sealant I use on the paint (however, the tmv headlights I showed you above were brand new 3 months ago, I had the new lenses wrapped in Xpel clear film so they will stay looking perfect. I always seal all my plastic and glass. Not sure what sealant/wax product you use. I also don't like the mineral spirits/urethane mixture, it does yellow after a while.

As for the bulbs, grab a pair from HIDbulbsRus | Home, Osram 66240 or Philips 85122 are the OEM bulbs you'd want.

You can apply Opti-Lens to the surface to actually add more UV protection, but the lenses should be polished to perfection before applying, and its $50 a syringe.
